## Default markup

Depending on the information you need to convey, you can use one of the following types of alert messages - **success**, **info**, **warning** or **danger**. Using the right type of alert modal will help draw users' attention to the message and prompt them to take action.

```html example vertical height="420px"
<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">
  <h4 class="alert-title">Wow! Everything worked!</h4>
  <div class="text-secondary">Your account has been saved!</div>
</div>
<div class="alert alert-info" role="alert">
  <h4 class="alert-title">Did you know?</h4>
  <div class="text-secondary">Here is something that you might like to know.</div>
</div>
<div class="alert alert-warning" role="alert">
  <h4 class="alert-title">Uh oh, something went wrong</h4>
  <div class="text-secondary">Sorry! There was a problem with your request.</div>
</div>
<div class="alert alert-danger" role="alert">
  <h4 class="alert-title">I'm so sorry&hellip;</h4>
  <div class="text-secondary">Your account has been deleted and can't be restored.</div>
</div>
```

```html
<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">
  <h4 class="alert-title">Wow! Everything worked!</h4>
  <div class="text-secondary">Your account has been saved!</div>
</div>
```

## Alert links

Add a link to your alert message to redirect users to the details they need to complete or additional information they should read.

```html example vertical code height="7rem"
<div class="alert alert-danger m-0">
  This is a danger alert — <a href="#" class="alert-link">check it out</a>!
</div>
```

## Dismissible alerts

Add the `x` close button to make an alert modal dismissible. Thanks to that, your alert modal will disappear only once the user closes it.

```html example height="420px"
<div class="alert alert-success alert-dismissible" role="alert">
  <div class="d-flex">
    <div>
      <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon alert-icon" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" stroke-width="2" stroke="currentColor" fill="none" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round">

    </div>
  </div>
  <a class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="alert" aria-label="close"></a>

## Alerts with icons

Add an icon to your alert modal to make it more user-friendly and help users easily identify the message.

```html example height="420px"
<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">
  <div class="d-flex">
    <div>
      <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon alert-icon" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" stroke-width="2" stroke="currentColor" fill="none" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round">
        <path stroke="none" d="M0 0h24v24H0z" fill="none" />
        <path d="M5 12l5 5l10 -10" />
      </svg>
    </div>
    <div>
      <h4 class="alert-title">Wow! Everything worked!</h4>
      <div class="text-secondary">Your account has been saved!</div>

## Alert with avatar

Add an avatar to your alert modal to make it more personalized.

```html code example height="420px"
<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">
  <div class="d-flex">
    <div>
      <span class="avatar float-start me-3"></span>
    </div>
    <div>
      Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
<div class="alert alert-info" role="alert">
  <div class="d-flex">
    <div>
      <span class="avatar float-start me-3">JL</span>
    </div>
    <div>
      Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.

    </div>
  </div>
</div>
```

## Alert with buttons

Add primary and secondary buttons to your alert modals if you want users to take a particular action based on the information included in the modal message.

```html code example height="500px" scrollable
<div class="alert alert-success alert-dismissible" role="alert">
  <h3 class="mb-1">Some Title</h3>
  <p>Lorem ipsum Minim ad pariatur eiusmod ea ut nulla aliqua est quis id dolore minim voluptate.</p>
  <div class="btn-list">
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-success">Okay</a>
    <a href="#" class="btn">Cancel</a>
  </div>
  <a class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="alert" aria-label="close"></a>
</div>
<div class="alert alert-info alert-dismissible" role="alert">
  <h3 class="mb-1">Some Title</h3>
  <p>Lorem ipsum Minim ad pariatur eiusmod ea ut nulla aliqua est quis id dolore minim voluptate.</p>
  <div class="btn-list">
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-info">Okay</a>
    <a href="#" class="btn">Cancel</a>
  </div>
  <a class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="alert" aria-label="close"></a>
</div>
<div class="alert alert-warning alert-dismissible" role="alert">
  <h3 class="mb-1">Some Title</h3>
  <p>Lorem ipsum Minim ad pariatur eiusmod ea ut nulla aliqua est quis id dolore minim voluptate.</p>
  <div class="btn-list">
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-warning">Okay</a>
    <a href="#" class="btn">Cancel</a>
  </div>
  <a class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="alert" aria-label="close"></a>
</div>
<div class="alert alert-danger alert-dismissible" role="alert">
  <h3 class="mb-1">Some Title</h3>
  <p>Lorem ipsum Minim ad pariatur eiusmod ea ut nulla aliqua est quis id dolore minim voluptate.</p>
  <div class="btn-list">
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-danger">Okay</a>
    <a href="#" class="btn">Cancel</a>
  </div>
  <a class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="alert" aria-label="close"></a>
</div>
```

## Important alerts

If you want your alert to be really eye-catching, you can add a class `alert-important`.

```html example vertical height="210px"
<div class="alert alert-important alert-success alert-dismissible" role="alert">
  <div class="d-flex">
    <div>
		<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon alert-icon" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" stroke-width="2" stroke="currentColor" fill="none" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round">

			<path d="M5 12l5 5l10 -10"></path>
		</svg>
    </div>
    <div>
